In the scene, he is dressed in some generic Hollywood idea of a friar, dark habit with a white cord. It's like confusing a Marine with an Army infantryman. Any idiot could find out how he was dressed.

Pissed off in OP minor
So Showtime's The Borgias has a scene where Cardinal della Rovere meets Savonarola, the famous Florentine reformer. He was a Dominican. As below:

Another irritating point. A Borgia spy is sent off to track Cardinal della Rovere and disguises himself as a friar..."a mendicant of the Benedictine order." No such animal.
Benedictines were settled monks, not mobile friars, and self-supporting, not mendicants. This kind of lazy and stupid attitude toward history pisses me off.
If this were a program about the French Revolution, you can bet all the clothes would be right and no one would be confusing factions.
